WooHooo... my forging has arrived, now im really starting to get ambitious. School and work has been keeping me pretty busy lately so im not quite sure when i will get started hopefully in the next week or two, i'm still looking for that upper receiver i will probably be going with the J&T ones.also got to get the lower fire controls, buffer tube etc. I will keep you all updated on the progress once i begin, even post up some pictures if i can figure out how.

yea i'd like to see lots of pics of this, I have been considering ordering one. I'm at college and there is a decent mill I have access to. It seems like a big project though. if I make one I want to put an OA-93 upper on it.

wow, I can't imagine doing this with my dremel, although the dremel is a mighty tool. I saw one post where the person marked the edge of the cuts in the magazine well with drill holes and then just milled out the inside. If I knew exactly where to place all the holes I think I could tackle this project pretty easily.

Take a look at the link I posted. I believe it's chapter nine that discusses the area for the mag well.

yea I read the entire book while in class yesterday, I'm sure whatever the professor was saying wasn't as important. It cleared up enough that I felt the urge to order a couple. hopefully they turn out okay

wow thats great! I didn't realize that more people would be building at the same time, hopefully we will be able to help each other out even more if we need it. I just printed off the prints for milling out both the drivers side and passengers side plate from RAY-VIN i am going to see if i can find some 1/2'' aluminum tonight and start milling these out at work. wish me luck.

do you think its necessary to make the two plates? it doesn't look like you use them for too many operations? I hadn't even considered doing a 0% until I saw this thread. The only problem is I have to ordersome tooling for my school's mill. They only have some side cutters and endmills. And only in 1/2" sizing. I have low expectations of actually completing this, hopefully I suprised myself.
